[quote=Anonymous]I don't think the world needs more stats from colleges. But it would help if parents had greater understanding of the process, and the uphill odds applicants face with highly rejective colleges. The colleges don't want to tell you that the odds are even more awful than perceived, because then folks won't apply and spend the $75. You see a college with 5% acceptance rate and think you have a 95% chance of rejection. But it is really higher than 95% chance of rejection. First, you have to get through the academic screening. Then you have to be unique and stand out from the other 20 applicants from your competitive DMV high school. And finally, you have to be the exact individual they think will be a good fit based on how they view their university in the greater world, and who else is applying that year.[/quote]
